Description

As the agency reported it.

The healthy worker effect (HWE), also known as the healthy hired effect, is a bias that causes morbidity or mortality to be lower among workers when compared with the general population, because unhealthy individuals are screened from or leave the workplace [1 3]. The HWE may persist in a workforce if there are factors related to both the end of employment and morbidity(mortality). Certainly, this is plausible for cancer. Several methods have been recommended for controlling for the HWE in occupational cohort studies [4], these include: 1. Use of internal control population(s); 2. Partitioning data for exposed and internal controls into discrete follow-up periods to control for past exposure and employment history; 3. Lagging exposure so that IT is only considered for the healthiest participants; 4. Controlling for current employment status using a covariate for active VS. Former employment, which will control for employees who (a) leave work due to higher exposures and (b) face a greater risk since they are no longer employed; 5. Restricting the analyses to long-term survivors for which the healthy worker effect is believed to be minimal. This approach filters out employeeswith short work histories who have a greater propensity for mortality.
